Do I need to change all calipers? 06 s60

Post by chris11211 »

Recently changed my tires and the mechanics discovered that the 3 discs are starting to warp. I didn't put it together when i changed the brakes, but I guess my calipers, especially the rears, are getting sticky, and was causing the pads to wear unevenly. I understand that you're supposed to replace them in pairs; I'll also get essentially free rotors and pads under fcpeuro warranty.

So the question is, from these pics, should I replace the front calipers as well?

also, has anyone gotten experience with remaned calipers from fcp?

No, you don’t. It’s perfectly acceptable to replace brake parts in single pieces, providing a test of hard brake action shows even performance.
